“With all the money ... the owners are trying to get a different percentage, and bring in more money.””
Adrian Peterson signed a 6 year, $40.5 million dollar contract.
I have no sympathy.
Meanwhile in the music industry, the company tries to collect production costs for the studio recording, promotion costs, distribution costs, a lions share of the publishing revenue...
Basically run up a tab that the artist(s) will spend a decade paying off. Best to hand over the tapes in the can and just work out a distribution deal.
No one could live on that, so I guess I see his point.
